No, I've been looking at different things at the time -- cross-compiling
i386 on either Alpha or sparc64 doesn't work due to some issues with GCC
configured to cross-build i386 (it sometimes produces different asm code
than native compiler).  I've reported this on current@ several times but
our GCC maintainers indicated no interest to look into this.  :-(
